Breakfast

‘Carrot porridge ‘ wtf

Must admit I was thinking along the same lines grannylyn

I rather like some scrambled eggs, orange juice and coffee for breakfast, or pancakes with fruits and yoghurt on, or Weetabix and some marmalade toast.
Children need a good breakfast inside them.

My regular breakfast is a bowl of Greek natural yogurt with chopped nuts and preferably Greek honey. My OH brings me this every morning to line my stomach before I take my tablets.

In normal times we have croissant from Lidls on Sundays and I dunk mine in my coffee. Saw a French man do this when we stopped in a small village whilst on holiday and it really is as good as it sounds. Not sure OH approves though that won’t stop me doing it.

I didn't want to show my ignorance by asking about the carrot porridge ?

Grannylyn that was my exclamation too
What the heck is carrot porridge ?

Cup of coffee and two small slices of seeded toast with Bovril and ginger jam on it yummy
I must admit I like dunking hot buttered toast in coffee sussex

I did wonder about carrot porridge.
I’m with you Gaga I don’t really do breakfast, normally just have a milky coffee. I do enjoy the luxury of a lovely breakfast buffet if I’m staying in a hotel though.

I like a nice bowl of creamy porridge. Sweetner and a sprinkle of sugar on the top for a sweet crunch. Never heard of carrot porridge.

Just googled carrot porridge, seems quite a lot of recipes for it. Basically porridge with a carrot grated into it.

Haha! It’s nothing fancy. A mashed carrot mixed with creamy porridge, some butter and a little peanut butter. He likes it.

Oh yes, maddyone, a hotel breakfast is lovely. Not too early tho.

I made Scotch pancakes this morning and froze some for another day.

I suppose carrots add sweetness to the porridge.

Now if I smelled bacon etc on the go I'd relish a breakfast but as it is I have my 2 thickly buttered crumpets and a cup of hot chocolate or cocoa.

Just as I was getting over the thought of carrot porridge you blow the image by adding butter and peanut butter!

Ha ha Lollin

As good as anything on the joke thread btw!

Well it's better than coco pops

He needs the protein because he's vegetarian. Plus he likes peanut butter. It's a wholefood brand with no palm oil.

I wouldn't eat it, but each to their own.

I was just wondering how he came to create such a combination. My attempts have always resulted in some revolting combination so I had to stop trying and stick to recipes. I imagine porridge manufacturers would love him for their adverts.

I do like peanut butter.
But I don't have any in the store cupboard

Haha Lollin. He didn't create it. I did. He's not 2 yet. Trial and error. Sweet potato porridge is also good. He's a savoury food boy so prefers the peanut butter to honey or a sweetener.

I started giving him veg for breakfast when he started going off vegetables a few months ago. He's more likely to eat it in the morning when he's ravenous. I've lived overseas a lot and the British way of breakfasting isn't the only way. In Spain, toast with olive oil and garlic tomato. In China, noodles with pickles. So I thought, breakfast doesn't have to be coco pops (to quote Callistemon).

I am eyeing up the DGD'S Readybrek, a new packet.
It could be out of date before they can stay again

Mmmm. I occasionally love readybrek. I'm sure it's got more fibre in it than it used to. I remember it being silky smooth when I was a child.

GS isn't keen on it. But he'll eat it if I'm eating it, as in, begging for samples.

It's ok - unopened and January 2021

I'm wondering how you smuggle broccoli into a strawberry smoothie - doesn't it make it a revolting colour?
